Default Retrieving WordPerfect 5.1 documents in Word 2003

I have many documents prepared in WordPerfect 5.1 for DOS which include
double indented paragraphs (created by pressing Shift F4 before typing the
paragraph).

When I retrieve these documents in Word 2003, the double indented paragraphs
turn into paragraphs with a hanging indent.

How can I retain the double indented paragraphs when I retrieve these
documents in Word 2003?

Default

Apply a style (such as Block Text) that has both left and right indents. You
can modify the style to have the indents you prefer (by default they're 1",
which seems excessive to me).
